This paper demonstrates that extracellular single-stranded DNA from Pittosporum tobira has insecticidal activity against Coccus hesperidum and shows a natural parallel to genetic zipper technology.

This paper investigates the insecticidal potential of short and long antisense DNA oligos against Coccus hesperidum, finding that short 11-mer oligos achieve higher mortality rates than longer sequences.

This paper describes the development and testing of DNA-based insecticides targeting rRNA in psyllid pests, showing high mortality rates and selectivity.

The paper demonstrates that CUAD-based oligonucleotide insecticides can effectively control aphids at a low cost, with minimal environmental impact.

This paper reviews the molecular mechanisms and species-specific efficacy of CUADb-based oligonucleotide insecticides and RNAi-based RNA biocontrols for plant protection against insect pests.
